Ark. Prison Guards Leave Inmate Naked In Own Feces

Written by Associated Press on June 23, 2009 1:30 pm

Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe wants the state prison system to conduct an “in-depth investigation” amid revelations that an inmate nearly died after guards left him lying naked in his own feces for a weekend.

In an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press, Beebe said the January incident, along with recent escapes and allegations that guards were given lap dances by a nurse, raised serious concerns about the prison system.

The Democratic governor stopped short of calling it a systemic problem, saying officials needed to “analyze each event” first.

Asked if he would fire prison director Larry Norris, Beebe said “no,” then added, “that issue hadn’t come up.”

A prison lieutenant and sergeant involved in the inmate’s near-death have been fired. Four others received written warnings.

    Pheces is bacteria and sometimes very acidic. People get rashes from not cleaning their behinds right after 2 hours let alone 48, that stuff eats into your skin and gets into your blood…I can’t imagine. And if he is just laying there something must have been wrong with him…most others would have just gotten up…SMH

    Yeah I’d like to know the whole story, and what did the inmate do to the guards that made them do that, hmm maybe throwing his feces at them, which inmates do partake in from time to time, just nasty, yuck!.

    Shyest_Chick are yo u serious??? U seriously think he was able to get up? U think he just opted to lay down in s**t rather than get up and clean himself off? OBVIOUSLY he was beaten badly by someone (ie the guards) before being left for dead in a pile of s**t. Do you even have a vague idea of what goes on in prison? smh @ your shallow analysis
